Playing cards are thought have originated in Central Asia in the 10th Century. It was China that began using them as paper forms of dominoes and thus created a new game. It wasn't till the 1300's that they hit Europe and through time were mass produced to the public. The playing cards we know and love today are French designed and became standard in Britain first and later her collonies such as America and Australia. Many games can be played with them either in a group are by youself. Also as well as being items of fun they're also items of intrigue and mystery, and are often used in magic tricks.
